NOBBY FOR DROGA 5

While sources claim that David Nobay will become a partner in Droga 5, which currently has offices in New York and Los Angeles, Nobby himself continues to deny it (joking he's available to direct commercials via Goodoil from November 1, the day he leaves Saatchi), as does Droga via an email to CB overnight.The plan, according to the same sources, is for Nobby (pictured above left with Droga at a CB Lunch last year) to work on international business with Droga, and to set up a Droga 5 operation in Australia early next year.Meanwhile, the red herrings abound, with a new one being that he's joining Goodby Silverstein, tasked with opening up an office for them in Sydney, a rumour no doubt fuelled by the visit of Jeff Goodby (for the Caxtons in Byron Bay) next month.

I can confirm that Nobby is finally going to follow his true love, music. His spooky resemblance to George Michael means that we will see him strutting his stuff on stage in the "WHAM...I'm your MAN" tour.
